Giti Tire

Giti Tire is a Singapore-headquartered Indonesian tire company, with eight manufacturing facilities, more than 32,000 global employees, and distribution to a market of more than 130 countries.

As of 2022, Giti was ranked as the number ten tire manufacturing company in the world based on revenue.

Giti Tire's roots go back to 1951 when it was founded under the name Fotaixing, beginning with bicycle tire and inner-tube manufacturing in Indonesia, and later producing bias tires for passenger and commercial vehicles. The founders were the Lim family, a Chinese Indonesian family originating from Putian in China, who gained wealth from pepper trade. In 1961, the company changed its name to Gajah Tunggal [id]. The company entered China in 1993 and established a joint venture with Anhui Tire Factory, an independent third party for the production of bias tires. In 1998, Giti established proprietary sales and distribution centers in various locations, completing manufacturing facilities in Fujian two years later to serve new passenger car tire (PCR) production. Since then, the company has expanded further internationally, opening offices and distribution centers around the world. In 2010 the company adopted a new Lippincott-designed logo featuring an elephant.

In June 2014, the company announced plans to build a US$560 million production plant in Richburg, South Carolina, (in the Charlotte metropolitan area) USA, its first factory outside of Asia, which opened in October 2017.

In February 2016, Giti was named Automotive Supplier of the Year and Hardlines Supplier of the Year by Bentonville, AR retailer Walmart.

In 2018 the company reported US$3.2 billion in revenue, including affiliate PT Gajah Tunggal Tbk.

Giti Tire's parent company, Giti Group, also owns a paper business and develops and operates retail stores in Indonesia.

Giti Tire manufactures a variety of brands of passenger car, truck/bus, and off-road tires for global markets, which include Giti, GT Radial, Primewell, Runway, and Dextero.
